The Locksmith by Susan Kaye Quinn

4 stars I really enjoy this series. This is a great short story that can be read as a standalone or as part of the series. It’s been awhile since I read the first two novels, but I read it aloud to my boyfriend (who is not familiar with the series) today and we were…

Keeper by Susan Kaye Quinn

4 stars I really can’t get enough of this series. Susan Kaye Quinn has created a truly fascinating world and this story is a great continuation of it. This can be read as a standalone or as part of the series. The story includes enough detail that someone could go into it without having any…

Sharp’s Revenge by Jesse Nethermind

2 stars I have to say, I was a little disappointed by this story. While the story itself was not bad, it didn’t quite live up to the other stories I have read by Nethermind. This one was very simple and it felt too rushed. I did like the unique main character and the humor…

I Hate Zombies by Shantnu Tiwari

1 star I got this as a free e-book and, given that I am intrigued by zombies, I thought I’d give it a try. However, this book was really not a good fit for me. So instead of writing a rambling review, I am just going to list (some of) the reasons I did not…

The Mermaid Girl: A Story by Erika Swyler

2 stars I received this book through Goodreads in exchange for an honest review. Like many other readers and reviewers, I did not know that this was a prequel to The Book of Speculation. This is completely understandable given that this book is in no way presented as if it were a prequel. It looks…

Blubber by Judy Blume

4 stars This is one of those terrifying books that is eye-opening in the most horrifying ways because it happens all the time. Even though this book was written in the 1970s, it is still sadly very relevant today. Bullying has changed a lot since the book was written, but it is still very widespread….

Miraculous: Origins by Cheryl Black

2 stars I received a free copy of this graphic novel. This is a pretty cute book. I was not really a fan of the pictures since they appear to just be stills from the TV show. This works for the most part for character shots, but a lot of the action gets overlooked this…

The Unfairest of Them All by Shannon Hale

4 stars I love this series so much. Great writing. Very funny. I really like the complexity of the characters. As with the first book, I enjoyed this book more than the TV series. I vaguely remember season two of the show, but from what I remember, most of what happened in the book did…

Harables: Short Stories 2 by Haidji

4 stars I received this book from the author. This is a great collection of short stories. Beautiful, unique writing. A must-read for fans of Haidji. The collection seemed to be more based in reality rather than fantasy in comparison to the first collection. But the stories are still very interesting, acting as parables and…
